On an early winter morning in December 2011, a cargo ship docks at a ferry terminal close to Chushka on the western sea border of Russia with the Ukraine. A well-armed insurgent force emerges and is on their way to rescue one of their commanders held captive in Zaporozhskaya to the NE of Chushka. The insurgents must use the road following the thin peninsula northwards, before turning east to Zaporozhskaya. Their force will be supplemented with a paratroop drop, and Intel has it that the drop will take place from a stolen An-26, that is getting air-born from Krymsk, about 100 nm to the East. You are based at Anapa-Vityazevo, roughly between the insurgent aircraft departure and the insurgent landing and have been called to immediate action. Intercept the An-26, destroy it and then halt the insurgents before they reach their target. The cargo ship has taken a run to safety, and it must be destroyed before it is out of reach.
